The best restaurants in Newent Central Forest of Dean South West

I checked the reviews yesterday and this pub had great reviews. People we spoke to in Newent today were guarded about this pub and advised us it was under new management in last two weeks. We pitched up for lunch. Really loud music greeted our arrival. Bar person was unsure about ‘dog friendly’. Said there was no food despite a menu being displayed in a window. Interestingly the menu seemed to be several foods offered by local takeaways…but apparently no food today. The staff looked clueless, any welcome was absent. Be aware this may no longer be a pub for ordinary folk. Oh, and the previous great reviews disappeared overnight.

Closed down after barely any time, matey thought this was London so he could charge ridiculous money. Food was mid at best, leaning heavily towards mediocre. May as well have just wrote my review in the menu would've done more to sell the place than your pathetic failed attempt to revive the place. A microwave meal for a quid at Aldi has more flavour than the slop he served here. Bro didn't know how to run a business and it shows. Everyone on the tele is just arrogant lol.
